From enjoying pimple popping videos to seeing the Vanderpump Rules cast self-destruct on nationwide tv, it’ s quite apparent that we like seeing f * cked up sh * t. The most f * cked up sh * t that we take pleasure in checking outabout? Cults. They ’ re dreadful and so scary that clearly, we would like to know more. And, naturally, if celebs are included, that’ s even much better. Here are some insane star cults that your favorite (or least preferred) well-known figures have some participation in. And if, after reading this, you still can’t get enough of cults, listen to the most recent Betches podcast, Not Another True Crime Podcast , where we talk cults, conspiracies, and criminal offense.

Scientology

It wouldn’ t be a list of celeb cults unless we consisted of Scientology, which appears to bring in a lots of celebs. Perhaps you’ ve seen the documentaries. Or perhaps you’ ve dropped the web bunny hole and found out everything about dianetics and Sea Org. Once again, possibly you sanctuary’ t. You certainly keep in mind when Tom Cruise went psycho when he was dating Katie Holmes and got into a battle with Matt Lauer over how psychiatry is B.S. due to the fact that Scientology stated so. Sure, in retrospection, Tom Cruise might not be as sh * tty of an individual as Matt Lauer, however at the time, it was quite insane habits.

Other celebrities like Danny Masterson and Laura Prepon (definitely you keep in mind That 70’ s Show), Elisabeth Moss, Jenna Elfman, and John Travolta belong to the Scientology. Jax Taylor from Pump Rules even designed for their pamphlets . Stassi stated on her podcast that she and Jax went to some classes. Let’ s be real here: Stassi most likely went simply to hate-watch the conferences and Jax probs nearly signed up with since he is, to put it nicely, a moron. Jerry Seinfeld and Jeffery Tambor have actually even messed around in Scientology.

Luckily, celeb previous members like Leah Remini, Jason Lee, and director Paul Haggis left the Church. When Paul Haggis left, a number of ladies had allegations of sexual attack versus him throughout the #MeToo motion, and Leah Remini stated it was most likely Scientology was attempting to destroy his life and track record . Once again, this is 2018, so I would not be shocked if he was a creep. Leah has even stated that Scientologists still concerned her household’ s dining establishment in San Francisco to bug them. Damn, this is creepier than anything I’ ve ever become aware of in the past. If you desire a deep dive into Scientology and all the f * cked up things they do when somebody attempts to leave, listen to the Scientology episode of Not Another True Crime Podcast listed below.

The Illuminati

There are haters who state that The Illuminati is a misconception. Truthfully, I decline to think them since there appears to be some quite legitimate evidence that it exists. And likewise, I’ m happy to blindly think any chatter as long as it’ s intriguing. The Illuminati go back centuries, and presumably boasts members from Stalin and Hitler to Hillary Clinton and JFK to celebs we in fact wan na hear chatter about, like Kanye, Beyonc, Jay Z, and Rihanna. Off, I wager Donald Trump is pissed that he’ s not included with The Illuminati, that he ’ s not part of a club this unique however Crooked Hillary is. In any case, the Illuminati is a secret society that presumably “ manages the whole modern-day world. ” Okay, if it truly manages the whole contemporary world, then why isn’ t Kris Jenner a part of it? Anyhow, there are traces of Illuminati impact on ancient Egyptian pyramids– that’ s how far it goes back. It intends to develop a New World Order so that the elite will run the world. Once again, why isn’ t Kris Jenner a member of this society? The Illuminati strives, however Kris Jenner works harder.

NXIVM

Remember Smallville!.?.!? Probably not truly, due to the fact that very few individuals viewed it despite the fact that it lasted for numerous seasons. The only thing more frustrating than hottie Tom Welling being wed is that one of the starlets on the program, Alison Mack, was included in hiring young ladies for a weird cult called NXIVM. ( Kristin Kreuk , another Smallville starlet, was included for a bit however declares she never ever assisted hire any person.) NXIVM would hire susceptible ladies to a sex trafficking operation that included some beautiful insane brainwashing methods, consisting of a remarkably limiting diet plan that would decrease inhibitions, isolate members, and make them feel general weaker.

Alison Mack would attempt to hire other starlets from having a hard time ones to effective ones. She even attempted to hire Emma Watson to her insane sex cult on Twitter! Yeah, since somebody who went to Brown and is an outspoken advocate of feminism would actually sign up with a dubious cult due to the fact that some random b * tch tweeted at her about it.

Full Circle

When you enjoyed 7th Heaven as a kid, did you truly believe among the Camden kids would date a future cult leader? Most likely not. When you enjoyed 10 Things I Hate About You, did you believe the douchebag whom Briana typed the face can leading a cult? Well, it’ s possible due to the fact that high school type of has a cultish hierarchy. Case in point:

But that doesn’ t mean we weren ’ t surprised to discover that Andrew Keegan of 7th Heaven and 10 Things I Hate About You had actually ended up being a cult leader as a grownup. I indicate, you’ re an unsuccessful star whose profession never ever removed. If you believe about it, the cult leader is the next finest profession for you (that’s actually how the Buddhafield cult began, simply stating). You get to utilize that charm and those great appearances of yours that never ever landed you a pilot, and you get a whole fanbase that worships you. That’ s why individuals end up being well-known in the very first location?

Andrew Keegan began a cult called Full Circle, which he competes is a “ spiritual company ” rather (LOL sure, Jan). It was busted for offering unlawful kombucha, which obviously is a thing. That’ s most likely the most significant scandal that they ’ ve ever had,however it doesn ’ t make the cult any less weird. I indicate, they have sing-a-longs and discuss yoga principles like crystal recovery and chakra positioning. It’ s generally like GOOP on non-GMO steroids. Is it safe? Yes. Is it still weird? Yes.

Hillsong Church

You’ ve become aware of Hillsong Church. Some state it’s merely a church, some state it’s one of the more recent celeb cults, however whatever you call it, it’ s where well-known individuals like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, the Karjenners, Nick Jonas, and Hailey Baldwin flock to. The truth alone that the celebs I simply noted have all slept with each other has to make it some kind of cult?
